equally valuable, every life is unique and every life is a story to be read and told to the next generation. I want to help each and every life as early as possible. Kids are innocent.

As I knowingly inspect the world I live in, that is the world I believe to be true, occasionally I question whether or not what society tells me about my life holds any legitimate truth. It’s unfathomable to imagine that my world isn’t real; considering the thought of the government or someone of higher power manipulating me to believe their perjury is unnerving.

then call me the villain. On the Next 15, I’m trying to put together a talk show, and I’m dealing with grown folks who don’t want to do any work. I asked all of my fellow cast members what role did they want to play and of course since the idea is my baby, no one wished to cooperate.

Society today is unlike anything the Earth has ever experienced. Living amongst a “Technological Era” has admitted us to freely witness the enviable lives of millions around the world. Tragically, it’s no surprise that it’s predominantly our younger generation that are so heavily influenced by our “Big Brother”, the USA.
